Please take a few seconds to have a look at http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12681 and help with your comments about whether we should apply this change or not. Applying it will prevent people from spoofing the "new message" alert, but at the same time, will make the new message bar to appear where it never appeared before, which may not be desired.
Repeating (and expanding on) my comment from there: this is pointless, IMO. The usertalk thing can still easily be spoofed with absolute positioning, unless bug 9526 (http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9526) is fixed.
I don't see how is that "spoofing" dangerous. Sure, you can make them click a link, but so you can putting it anywhere else, and that way it's even easier to notice if it is doing any harm. What's the matter?
